Body image concerns are a global issue among adolescents, including in India. These concerns can prevent adolescents from engaging in everyday life activities, impeding social and academic development. However, at present, there are no psychometrically valid measures to assess such impact in the Indian context. This study culturally adapted and validated the Body Image Life Disengagement Questionnaire (BILD-Q) for use in English among adolescents in urban India. A total of 1427 adolescents completed an adapted version of the BILD-Q along with additional measures pertaining to body image. Exploratory factor analysis identified one dimension of body image life disengagement, which provided the best fit. The 9-item one-factor model was further supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency and test re-test reliability. Further analysis demonstrated that the scale can be used to compare scores between boys and girls without measurement bias. This study presents a culturally adapted version of the BILD-Q, which can be used as a valid and reliable measure to assess the impact of body image concerns on life disengagement among English-speaking adolescents in urban India.

身体意象生活脱离问卷 (BILD-Q) 的改编和验证，用于印度城市青少年的英语

对身体形象的担忧是青少年（包括印度）的一个全球性问题。这些担忧可能会阻止青少年参与日常生活活动，从而阻碍社会和学术发展。然而，目前还没有有效的心理测量方法来评估印度背景下的这种影响。这项研究在文化上进行了调整并验证了身体意象生活脱离问卷 (BILD-Q)，以英语在印度城市青少年中使用。共有 1427 名青少年完成了 BILD-Q 的改编版本以及与身体形象相关的其他措施。探索性因素分析确定了身体形象生活脱离的一个维度，这提供了最佳的契合度。验证性因素分析进一步支持了9项单因素模型。该量表表现出良好的内部一致性和重测信度。进一步的分析表明，该量表可用于比较男孩和女孩之间的分数，而没有测量偏差。本研究提出了 BILD-Q 的文化适应版本，可用作评估身体形象问题对印度城市英语青少年生活脱离的影响的有效且可靠的措施。
